I got a chance to try on the “Tela 50 Fili 2L Garment Dyed Anti Drop Agent Coat” today. Now I’m trying to figure out what to sell to pick one up for the winter. Easily my favorite fishtail parka that I’ve tried.

So these pants fit a bit tighter than the converts at the waist. I tried a 44 on and they do fit snug on the waist and would potentially consider sizing to a 46 but still wearable.

They have a lighter feel and a clean look when not using the articulation - just a plain black straight fit dress pant.

Normal 4 pocket setup 2 front / 2 back with the right side having that diagonal zip/patch that most sp pants have.

So the articulation works by pulling a stretchy strap at the back of the knee and using a button to fasten. There are multiple slits (5?) so you can cinch them more/ less.

When cinched to the tightest loop, it gives a p10 type look with a slim calf and bunched material around the knee. Although it looks good, walking around is awkward as the material pulls at the back. So I wouldn't recommend cinching it all the way maybe 1 or 2 less.

The tab also flops around when all the way cinched.

Left is no articulation / Right is tightest

Damn you Tilore! I’m sold and just copped a pair after reading this!! Don’t know if I’m happy or angry.

The inner security flap on the front pockets is awesome as well. Keeps your phone/change/keys from sliding out when you sit, to counter style/position of pockets and the light/soft fabric.

(there seems to be some mystery about wether this is a “wide, drop crotch pant” or a “slim bit not too tight” pant if you read deacriptions across the vendors. Got my usual 50 in olive from SI and it was skin tight! The 52 in black was the wide drop crotch one but still not much wider than SI 50s usually are for me. (Misslabel or theres two versions about)

I got my pair of the articulated pants as well, my first shadow project piece and I love it! I decided to size up per this board and End recommended sizing up, although if I'm being totally honest I might have preferred going tts because they are a little long on me if I don't use the tabs. When pulling the tab to the 9th slit(maybe the max) you get a nice stacking look with tapered calves, but you get the back of the cuffs popping out a bit which may or may not be appealing to certain folks.

Quick way to hack that is doubling up on the slits. If you did 9, also push the button through the previous slot to keep it in check. That curbs the floppy tabs look and deters idiot boxes from pulling on them to ruin your day.

I know there is a leisure version which looks like moleskin fabric. Then there is a cotton version which is the same fabric as the convert pant.

Big T (Tilore) which version did you display again?

Bit late but yea these ones are the exact same fabric make up as the converts, the other leisure pant is more of a sweat pant.

Also got these pants based on Tilore's pics

My first kind of "techwear" pants, are these considered tech pants?

Also, I'm usually a size 29/30 for jeans etc, and the webshop I got them from only had a 46, did I size it right?

Yea 46 should be perfect and maybe lowkey tech? Think it depends more on how you style them with other pieces.

Yea normally they're a bit long like converts so I'll cuff twice which I think is fine. Going tts these fit tighter in the waist so I still think you made the right decision.

I would follow up with wearable architecture more than techwear. As is, the sector is getting a bit overloaded with way too much attention and dull emulations of the true originals. Pieces like these organically birth new ways of interpreting what we wear. If anything, pants like these are the first of its kind and likely the start of a new path for what most CXADO pieces represent. I don’t want to act like this is some great departure or something that’s never been done before but I’d rank it somewhere between what Acronym and Yohji do right.

You don’t have to wait for a downpour to wear these. Do them up, down, left or right.
